Tour De Force - The Bordeline
Unprecedented live concert event on 180 gram 2LP! Bonamassa pays tribute to his early career at the Borderline! This 200-seat club in the heart of London was chosen to stage a revival of Bonamassa's early career power-trio jam nights. Armed with a Fender Stratocaster Bonamassa along with a single drummer and bassist launched into a setlist marked with extended takes of songs from his first set of albums. Tour De Force Live In London chronicles Bonamassa's atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of The Borderline to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Beginning in the 200-capacity London Borderline with a trio, Bonamassa pays tribute to his earlier career performing songs he hasn't played live in years. The following evening at Shepherd's Bush Empire is a blues-themed night featuring a horns section with a soulful, big-blues-band feel. Then on to the Hammersmith Apollo which opens with a short acoustic set before moving into a rock-inspired evening. Finally, on the fourth and final night at the Royal Albert Hall, Bonamassa treats the crowd to a half acoustic/half electric show of his most popular and well-known songs featuring the acoustic band from his #1 Billboard acoustic CD/DVD An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House.
